ORDERING INFORMATION
2.0 COMPONENTS FIBER CLEAVE SPECIFICATIONS (illustrations not to scale)
3.0 FIBER TERMINATION – 250µm
1.01 These installation instructions describe the assembly procedure for the new FAST™ SC, LC and ST connectors which allow termination on 250µm, 900µm, 2.0mm, and 3.0mm fiber/cable.
NOTe DO NOT use these instructions to install previous versions of the FAST™ SC, LC and ST connectors which are only used to terminate 250µm and 900µm fiber.
WarNiNG Always wear eye protection when handling optical fibers. Dispose of cut or cleaved ends properly.
1.02 The FAST™ Connector Universal Tool Kit is required (see Figure 1):
Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice.NOTe Keep the ferrule’s dust cap on until ready to install the connector.
2. Release the wedge clip by squeezing both sides until the wedge clip dislocates itself from the connector body. Remove the wedge clip. (see Figure 11)
OPTION B: Use a Visual Fault Identifier or VFI (AFL HiLite recommended) as an aid to determine if the cleaved fiber and stubbed fiber are connected properly.
1. Remove the FAST™ connector dust cap and insert the connector into the VFI. Turn the VFI on, there will be a red glow in Position 1 of the wedge clip. (See Figure 12)
2. Insert the cleaved fiber into the rear of the connector until the red glow dims in Position 1 of the wedge clip. Make a bend in the fiber to maintain connection. (See Figure 13)
3. Release the wedge clip by squeezing both sides until the wedge clip dislocates itself from the connector body. Remove the wedge clip. Remove the VFI from the connector and place the dust cap back onto the connector’s ferrule.
3.09 Slide the boot up and over the rear of the connector body. Slide the clear 900µm protective tubing - over the black 250µm protective tubing - to the back of the connector’s boot. Termination is complete. (see Figure 14)

1.01 These installation instructions describe the assembly procedure for the new FAST™ SC, LC and ST connectors which allow termination on 250µm, 900µm, 2.0mm, and 3.0mm fiber/cable.
NOTe DO NOT use these instructions to install previous versions of the FAST™ SC, LC and ST connectors which are only used to terminate 250µm and 900µm fiber.
WarNiNG Always wear eye protection when handling optical fibers. Dispose of cut or cleaved ends properly.
1.02 The FAST™ Connector Universal Tool Kit is required (see Figure 1):
Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice.NOTe Keep the ferrule’s dust cap on until ready to install the connector.
2. Release the wedge clip by squeezing both sides until the wedge clip dislocates itself from the connector body. Remove the wedge clip. (see Figure 11)
OPTION B: Use a Visual Fault Identifier or VFI (AFL HiLite recommended) as an aid to determine if the cleaved fiber and stubbed fiber are connected properly.
1. Remove the FAST™ connector dust cap and insert the connector into the VFI. Turn the VFI on, there will be a red glow in Position 1 of the wedge clip. (See Figure 12)
2. Insert the cleaved fiber into the rear of the connector until the red glow dims in Position 1 of the wedge clip. Make a bend in the fiber to maintain connection. (See Figure 13)
3. Release the wedge clip by squeezing both sides until the wedge clip dislocates itself from the connector body. Remove the wedge clip. Remove the VFI from the connector and place the dust cap back onto the connector’s ferrule.
3.09 Slide the boot up and over the rear of the connector body. Slide the clear 900µm protective tubing - over the black 250µm protective tubing - to the back of the connector’s boot. Termination is complete. (see Figure 14)

4.01 Tools required for installation are the CT-30A Cleaver and a fiber stripper.
NOTe When using a 900µm Fanout/Breakout kit to upjacket 250µm fiber, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. After the kit is installed properly, the following procedures for FAST™ termination are applicable. The 0.25/0.9mm cable clamp is required (Part No. CS004442).
4.02 When using a 900µm Fanout/Breakout Kit:
Measure 10 inches from end of 900µm tube and place the 0.25/0.9mm tube into 900µm cable clamp. Slide the cable clamp to tighten tube down. (See Figure 16)
4.03 Slide the 900µm boot onto the fiber. (see Figure 17)
4.04 Strip the fiber to a length of 40mm by removing 10mm at a time. (see Figure 18)
4.05 From the end of the 900µm buffered fiber, place a mark at 15.5mm for SC and ST or a mark at 11.5mm for LC. (see Figure 19)
4.06 Clean the stripped fiber with an alcohol wipe to remove any debris. Check the fiber integrity by bending the stripped end slightly at 60°. (see Figure 19)
4.07 Set the stripped fiber onto the cleaver such that the 900µm buffered fiber’s edge is at the 10.5mm position and cleave. (see Figure 20)
4.08 The wedge clip is engaged at shipment. If it has become dislodged, squeeze the top and bottom of the wedge clip, insuring it is inserted in the connector body. A click will be heard. (see Figure 21)
4.09 OPTION A:
1. Insert the cleaved fiber into the rear of the connector until the connection is made. Make a bend in the fiber to maintain connection. (see Figure 22 and 23)
2. Release the wedge clip by squeezing both sides until the wedge clip dislocates itself from the connector body. Remove the wedge clip. (see Figure 24)
OPTION B: Use a Visual Fault Identifier or VFI (AFL HiLite recommended) as an aid to determine if the cleaved fiber and stubbed fiber are connected properly.
1. Remove the FAST™ connector dust cap and insert the connector into the VFI. Turn the VFI on, there will be a red glow in Position 1 of the wedge clip. (See Figure 25)
2. Insert the cleaved fiber into the rear of the connector until the red glow dims in Position 1 of the wedge clip. Make a bend in the fiber to maintain connection. (See Figure 26)
3. Release the wedge clip by squeezing both sides until the wedge clip dislocates itself from the connector body. Remove the wedge clip. Remove the VFI from the connector and place the dust cap back onto the connector’s ferrule.
